Tag: Dark Days in Paradise

June 2nd, 1987. Whitney Houston’s second album works better if you think of it as a collection of songs rather than as an album. Still the songs on this album are great, and are made so because of Houston’s incredible singing. It also starts off with I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me), one of the best pop songs of the 80’s.

Worth Listening To:

Gone Now – Bleachers

June 2nd, 2017. An album filled with potential anthems. There are definitely things to like about Gone Now and the way it attempts to swing for the fences on every song. Some of the songs are the hits that they are expected to be, but when every attempt is as grandiose as the songs on Gone Now are there are bound to be some stumbles. Still worth listening to if you haven’t yet.

Timeless – Sarah Brightman

June 2nd, 1997. If you are a fan of classical/operatic style singing then this the album for you. Not much else to say other than the singing is wonderful, and the music is relaxing and invigorating at the same time.

Skip These:

Dark Days in Paradise – Gary Moore

June 2nd, 1997. I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting from this album but it ended up being a 90’s style hard rock album. I had never heard of Gary Moore before but I hope his other albums are more exciting because I found myself continuously bored by what was happening on here. I’m sure there are people out there that really like this album, so it might be worth listening to, but for the vast majority of people I’d say skip it.

What It’s All About

AoTD is an attempt to listen to all of the good music that was released between 1950 and today, while also writing down a few thoughts about each album. In an attempt to make this more organized I'll only be listening to albums that were released in a year ending with the same number of the current year. Its 2017, so that means years that end in 7's: 2007, 1997, 1987, 1977, 1967, and 1957.
